\n \n American teenager Ilia Malinin landed the second ever quadruple axel in competition on Saturday without so much as a wobble.\n <\/p>\n \n Competing at Skate America, the 17-year-old’s historic free skate secured him the gold medal in his senior Grand Prix debut as he became the youngest men’s champion in the event’s history.\n <\/p>\n \n Malinin had become the first person ever to complete a quadruple axel in competition last month during the US International Figure Skating Classic, a lower-level event.\n <\/p>\n \n But still, he was unsure whether to incorporate figure skating’s most difficult move into his free skate routine at Skate America.\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cThis morning I wasn’t really sure if I would attempt it or not,\u201d Malinin told NBC afterwards. \u201cBut I think that it came over my mind that everyone’s watching, I have to go for this and I went for it and I landed it. I’m still in shock.\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cThe whole building was screaming for at least a couple of seconds after that, I didn’t even know if the music was still playing.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
